EDITOR INDKx:-To satisfy many in
quiries in regard to cotton and its pres
ent condition. win state, as briefly as
possible, my experience and observa-
lions since last spring, the mistakes
we made and the prospects of the pres
ent crop. A good deal of the seed we
had was from cotton which opened
late, and also came up late. and there
BY caused an unequal, and in some
places, even a poor stand. Parties who
planted cotton this year; should keep
the seed from the first and second
picking separate, and use only that for
planting. 1t having the most vitality.
The seed from the late cotton will
come handy the coming winter for feed.
Then good many planted the seed too
deep. 1t should not be covered more
than an inch. Then the weather of the
early season was very unfayorable to
cotton. First, too dry, and later, rath-
er too wet for cotton on low land. The
cotton / raised this season / had to
SOW in new land. The roughness and
wild nature Of the ground and dry
weather caused slow growth.
The stalks are also fully foot lower
than last year. yet full Of bolls. In ad-
dition to this, we find the ground, to q
depth of several feet, without any
moisture, which is the main cause of
the failure of crops here, especially SO
for cotton. The moist ground is on
top, while the roots of cotton plants go
from 16 to 24 inches below the surface,
and have but few side fibers. Consid-
ering these facts, am surprised that
cotton has done so well.
1 do not know which to admire most,
the hardness of the cotton plant, a
genuine rustler, or the tenacity of the
Barber county soil. In deep plowed
ground, with normal moisture, cotton
will do we'll with very little rain, hence
am convinced now, that this part of
Kansas is very favorable for cotton,
for better season We could not have
had to test it. From my own observa-
lions, and from reports have heard,
We W AZ nave q tnO-bu1Iu COLIOu
crop. While some made a failure of
their first trial, others have done well,
and some cotton patches appear now,
from distance, as fresh and green as
a field of young hemp. Should we have
a few more good rains, soakers, within
two weeks, some will make full crop
yet, for all the small bolls and what is
in bloom now, will mature. at any
rate we will make twenty bushels of
seed per acre.
Will also state, that one of my cotton
patches was visited by the webb-worm,
but by narrowing and hoeing saved
the cotton in spite of the dry weather.
The chinch bug we have not to fear.
have seen places where the corn had
been destroyed by them ON three sides
of the cotton.
Parties who intend to raise cotton
next year will do well to pillow a piece of
ground this fall, covered with weeds or
any kind of stubble. Butplow deep, and
before frost, and then the young cotton
will do we'll next spring, for a long
time, regardless of rain.
Although the crop is very small, the
gin and press will be here in due time.
